We know because we've been in business long enough to hear from customers years after they've made their first pizza oven purchase. When it comes to pizza ovens, there is a big difference between brick ovens that are handcrafted in Portugal and those that are assembled in a factory.
We can't share our expertise about this particular brick oven in 15 seconds but, if you have 2 minutes, keep reading...
Brick ovens that are handmade in Portugal are made using traditional brick-making techniques. The bricks used to build the ovens are carefully selected and kiln-fired to create a durable and long-lasting product. The brick ovens assembled in factories, on the other hand, are often made from brick that is mass-produced in a more industrial setting.
While brick ovens assembled in factories may be less expensive, they are not necessarily of the same quality as brick ovens made by hand. When it comes to cooking pizzas, brick ovens made by hand in Portugal offer a superior cooking experience. The bricks used to build these ovens absorb heat evenly, providing a consistent cooking surface.
The traditional brick-making techniques used to construct brick ovens also allow for better airflow, resulting in pizzas that are cooked evenly with a crispy crust. When it comes to pizza, there is simply no substitute for a brick oven handcrafted by a master craftsman.

Is this the same as the Brazza Premium Pizza Oven
The Buena Ventura oven is very similar to the Brazza brick oven. Both are handmade by the same craftsmen in Portugal and both have the same premium door and flue system. The main difference is their front face arches. They are slightly different in appearance so it just depends on which style you like for your backyard pizza oven.
I am interested to purchase the Buena Ventura Black PREMIUM Brick Wood Fired Pizza Oven What are your suggestion about adding a chimney and cap?
The chimney and cap are not really necessary but most of our customers would consider adding these accessories to make their cooking experience a lot more enjoyable. Without the chimney, the smoke from your oven will escape through the flue and will make your cooking area smokey. The chimney will help bring all the smoke up and farther away from your face and your cooking area. A cap will protect anything from getting inside your chimney.
